Anchen Els has worked with Spa InterContinental since the pre-opening period, following previous therapist roles in Greece, South Africa and on a cruise ship.

During her time at Spa InterContinental, Anchen has risen to becoming the senior therapist and is now undergoing training that will involve her in all aspects of running a spa, from reception to revenue, with the aim of developing her into an assistant spa manager.

Nominated on behalf of the hotel by PR & marketing executive Robert Singleton, Els’ “professional and skilled manner has seen her gain popularity with many regular clients who all ask for her by name, a demand that keeps her incredibly busy. Her talents saw her earn the title of Best Facial for Spa InterContinental with her demonstration of the Natura Bisse Diamond Facial for judges from Time Out Dubai magazine”

“Anchen is the first choice for the department when a therapist is needed during spa reviews, and has been featured in several newspapers, magazines and TV and radio programmes (twice) representing Spa InterContinental,” says Singleton.

“She has proven herself to be not only skilled and knowledgeable, but an excellent communicator and interesting spokes person for her craft. Anchen is certainly the star of the spa, and an excellent candidate for the Spa Person of the Year for Dubai,” he adds.
